My Bookish Life

Went to the cinema to see this with a friend a week back. I had heard the soundtrack before but couldn't get much out of it, I didn't really know what this movie was about but I heard such good reviews I had to see it. Well anyway it was awesome! [CAUTION: spoilers ahead!] So I loved all the songs but obviously I had a few favorite scenes / songs. I loved the beginning when The Greatest Show is presented and you see all the success before you just realise it's just a young boy dreaming for now...  And of course where Barnum and Charity visit this old house. It was fantastic as beginning, seeing him still dreaming and she supporting him. I was very happy to see, that he finally had THE idea for starting a business and even tho he cheated on the bank, he got successful. My first "love it" moment was the song Come Alive. Fantastic text, beautiful scene... Seeing him trying to please high society hurt me somehow... He tried so hard to be accepted by the ...

You know, it's not only the big things that count and make me happy these days. It's more like the simple things in life. I always have been very calm but since I moved out, I got even calmer.

Sunday is my day. The day I usually do nothing except the things I love. (Well except I've a huge and important test in school but that's a different story.) Sometimes I'm at my parents and my mum and I cook together. But when I'm alone it's mostly lazy. But there are some things I always do on a Sunday. Things that I enjoy and that got a bit of a ritual like making myself a nice cup of tea in the morning.
